    　　In 1939 two brothers ,Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California．They carefully chose a busy corner for their location．They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, then another drive-in．But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu; French fries, hamburgers, and sodas．To this small selection they added one new idea; quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips．

    　　Their hamburgers were sold for fifteen cents．Cheese was another four cents．Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性)，for the brothers had developed a strict routine (程序)for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine．Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch．People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime．The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened．They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc．

    　　Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines．He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants．The agreement struck included the right to duplicate(复制)the menu ,the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门)．

    　　Today McDonald’s is really a household name．In 1976, McDonald’s had over＄l billion in total sales．Its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising success stories in modern American business history．

    　　In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts, he always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game that he called ‘Laxico’. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from ‘lexico’to‘Alph’and then to‘Criss cross’. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial success.

    　　In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name棥—Scrabble’.

    　　At first, it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year.

    　　Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play‘Scrabble’ while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy's should stock the game and make an effort to call the public's attention to it.

    　　As a result,‘Scrabble’ became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.
